Questioning everything led to my progressive awakening. Still learning daily. A new me, The Real Me is emerging. Strange, but I like her.
The person who posted this is definitely a lib. But, if there is any truth to this, I question are we taking this too far?
Yes, I do agree that this violence must stop, just questioning if the marines need to be brought in for a small area.
I'm not going soft, just looking for perspectives and if there are other answers.
When the fact that NG and Marines are essentially human bollards is taken into consideration. Then it may not be as over the top as it might appear.
The need to set a parameter and cycle through shifts, would necessitate a larger number of troops than just running one shift or a smaller parameter. The only thing troops are doing at this point is standing. They aren’t there to engage. Only to enforce a border. They have no other function unless 1. An insurrection is declared. 2. The suspension of posse comitatus. 3. The suspension of habeas corpus. We may or may not know if any of these three occur.
I find it helpful to understand that, at any given point during the day. There are roughly only 3000 Border Patrol agents in the field at once. That’s how few active field agents there really are.
So yeah. To secure and hold an area that small, really does take that many. Considering they hacked up the cement bollards? I prefer that they be able to fight back.

Good points. And now there seem to be more and more protests springing up in other cities, as well. They're not waiting for their nationwide events on Saturday.
I got a man. Not here to date. No DM’s. Sad that I even need to write this.
Yep. Things could slide sideways really fast on Saturday. I’m starting to think that they’re setting up some sort of ritual sacrifice for the Soros/Abedin wedding on Saturday.
